In this episode of The Brink, Andrew and Jake are joined by Israeli journalist and political analyst Nadav Eyal to explore what could be Israel’s most consequential election in a generation, and whether Benjamin Netanyahu’s time in power is finally coming to an end. Nadav breaks down the battle between Netanyahu and Gadi Eisenkot, the growing influence of Israel’s far right, and why Arab parties could hold the key to the next government. The conversation also examines the political fallout from October 7, conspiracy theories dividing Israeli society, the ultra-Orthodox military conscription debate, and why even an electoral defeat for Netanyahu might not be enough to remove him from power.
